Not really. I did, however, win my first match in as long as I can remember last night, which was great. More importantly, I made a couple significant changes over the course of the match, and they both helped a lot. The final score was 1-6, 6-4, 7-5 I believe. After figuring something out with my serve, my first serve percentage went up significantly (from maybe 10% to 50%), and everything that was in, was fast. My weakest spot by far was the one-handed topspin backhand, something I usually do fairly well. Yesterday, it was just terrible. Balls were hitting the ground before the net, that's how bad it was. I think it's from using a new grip with an old swing though, so maybe I can fix that in the future.
